(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: M-2006-049 <br />INSPECTION DATE: 1/13/10 INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: E.C_ <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />This was a routine monitoring inspection for the Smith Pit, a Kit Carson County 110c sand and gravel permit, <br />conducted by Eric Scott of DRMS. DRMS traveled with Kit Carson Road and Bridge representative Walt <br />Isenbart to the site, and observed the site with him at approximately 1200. There was no mining site <br />identification sign or permit boundary markers present at the site. <br />Kit Carson County has 9.45 acres currently permitted at this location. However the extent of the permit area was <br />not marked at the time of the inspection. The County will need to replace the boundary markers and <br />demonstrate that the current disturbed area is within the permit boundary. It was noted that excavation had led <br />to the creation of a rather significant and potentially unstable overhang as shown in the photo below. This <br />overhang should be removed the next time the pit is worked, if it has not collapsed first, as it may pose a <br />potential worker safety hazard. No other issues were observed during this inspection. <br />Photo 1- representative photo of Smith Pit taken from south side of pit looking NE. Note overhang that may <br />pose a worker safety hazard if not removed.
